FLCL	comment	FLCL (pronounced "Fooly Cooly"note (or "Flee Klee" if you're feeling silly), but never "Eff-ell-see-ell"), later given the retronym FLCL Classic after its sequels released, is a 6-episode OVA, released intermittently between 2000 and 2001.It follows the story of Naota, a Japanese twelve-year-old who lives with his father and grandfather. Naota has become annoyed at the inappropriate attention from his brother's ex-girlfriend Mamimi, and he thinks his life and his hometown are boring. His entire life changes when Haruko Haruhara, a manic older girl, runs over Naota with her Vespa.Haruko claims she's an intergalactic police officer, but she wields a Rickenbacker bass guitar with a chainsaw-like pullstring motor on the back as a blunt instrument and physically and sexually harasses Naota, making it clear something is weird about her. After his initial contact with Haruko, Naota's forehead begins spawning giant robots, and the insanity increases exponentially from there.While FLCL's literal "plot" resembles something of a Space Opera, its real appeal lies in one of two places: as a Coming of Age Story filled with allegorical and symbolism-soaked writing, off-the-wall humor, and imagery that ranges from obvious to clever to brilliant... or as a bunch of insane almost-nonsense strung together to form a big ball of crazy that fascinates viewers as it offers loads of laughs and plays fast and loose with the fourth wall.A manga version of the story was later released. Created by Hajime Ueda, the manga's story differs heavily from the anime as it goes on, sticking with a darker and less over-the-top tone (though it still has some comedic parts) while keeping the frenetic and confusing nature of the OVA.In September 2015, Studio Gainax announced that the property was for sale; Production I.G, a longtime Gainax partner and the other entity credited for FLCL's animation, subsequently purchased the rights. In March 2016 — six months after the purchase and over fifteen years after the original series ended — [adult swim] announced they would collaborate with Production I.G to create two new six-episode seasons for its Toonami block titled FLCL Progressive & Alternative, which released in 2018.In March 2022, AS announced that it was celebrating Toonami's 25th anniversary by ordering two new FLCL seasons, FLCL Grunge & Shoegaze. They premiered in 2023.

Rather than leaving him on the notion that he should grow up as a regular child, she leaves him with a Vespa he can use to pursue her, which he desperately tries to work to the point of making his hands bleed.

In the fourth episode Haruko talks to the viewers while riding her Vespa down the Medical Mechanica building. In episode 5 Naota actually gives the audience an Aside Glance and asks "Do you find this difficult to understand?" during one of Haruko's more out-there moments. "Let's just stay with anime. It's hard to be in manga form. Takes time and it's a lot of work. After the first episode they said not to do the manga thing again, but then we get accused of being lazy." The best part is that Naota apparently isn't in on the break. When Kamon mentions anime, he responds, "anime?" Immediately afterwards, Kamon and Shigekuni demand he explain what FLCL means, with Kamon insisting that he has to know because he's the main character.

FLCL / int_2937826d	comment	Hurricane of Puns: The series is loaded with wordplay, but the beginning of episode 5 has something like a dozen Japanese puns back-to-back, none of which translate to English. The dubbers, who had done a fantastic job up to that point, pretty much had to throw their hands in the air for this scene, which meant English viewers got a bizarre caption about the correct way to spell "mackerel." Instead of a joke about confusing the kanji for "blue" and "mackerel" (which the dubbers obviously couldn't work with, as noted), they tried to find another joke that fit the formula and ended up with a relatively obscure joke about how "if Seven of Nine heaves a sigh" you get a "sigh-borg," referring to Canti. Mamimi points out that "confusing robots with cyborgs is a common mistake."

There's also the implication in said rundown that this may be related to Kamon's bizarre personality in the series â€“ he had been an assistant editor at a counter-culture magazine before suddenly quitting to...open up a bakery (or move in with his father who might have already owned the bakery), write about the deep mysteries of EVA, and publish a trashy tabloid 'zine. Perhaps the death of his wife precipitated the dramatic change in lifestyle. This might also explain Naota's attraction to Haruko. The moment where he embraces her in his room after she returns during episode six can easily be interpreted as Haruko functioning as a stand in for some one else who is no longer in Naota's life.

She leaves at the end of the series. Haruko does this as well. As for Ninamori, she is the most likely girl (and out of all of Naota's Love Interests, she had the most sincere affection for him) to end up with Naota in the future.

Eventually he gets better after working out his frustrations on a vending machine, his TV, a robot duplicate of his father, and a baseball-shaped satellite bomb the size of a house.

FLCL / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: To lots and lots of other anime, with references ranging from sly and subtle to blatant ripoffs. Lupin III and Neon Genesis Evangelion in particular amount to running gags, and one character is named after a Carmichael Smith novel. There's at least three for South Park. One comes in the form of a 30 second Art Shift, though the other two aren't as blatant. The Pillows gave a musical shout out in the show's closing theme "Ride on Shooting Star"; it ends with the line "Beep beep, beep beep, yeah!", originally from The Beatles' "Drive My Car". A shot of Mamimi's phone in the last episode says "Cyber Dying" which is probably a reference to Cyberdyne. Haruko's sky-surfing on a guitar while dressed as a bunnygirl is an explicit reference to the Daicon IV music video (she even yells "Daicon!" at one point), which was the project that would lead to Studio Gainax's formation. A few references to Gundam as well. Haruko fixes the Vespa with what appears to be a toy Gundam, and Kamon references the infamous Gundam Hammer in the first episode. In episode 3 Naota eats some very spicy curry, and for a split second his face turns into◊ Ghostface's mask. According to the director, one of the meanings of the anime is the history of Gainax itself, which explains a lot of the in-house references. Naota's cat ears in episode 3 get compared to Doraemon (despite that character not having ears). In one episode, someone runs around in a mouse costume saying "chu." In episode 3, the secretary who was caught having an affair with Ninamori's father flees the papparazi while shouting "Bye-Baikin!" In one of the episode previews, Haruko mentions a ton of anime directors, including Mamoru Oshii. Naota gives a Lawyer Friendly Lampshade Hanging in the fourth episode, when Haruko answers his question of who she really is with "I'm an illusion of your youth; the manifestation of the feelings of your adolescent heart."

There's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment where Ninamori and Naota knock heads at the subway. For a second you see both of their heads light up red, like Ninamori just briefly picked up Naota's N.O. potential. Canti flying with the fake wings.

His father Kamon is the most obvious example, being an unemployed, lecherous anime freak who makes scant money selling a self-published tabloid to convenience stores. In the anime, Naota seems to make some peace with his father, who hints at being a little more intelligent than he first appears. In the manga, their relationship gets ugly.

FLCL / int_e462893a	comment	Artistic License â€“ Sports: Naota is shown striking out apparently every inning against Haruko's pitching. The problem is that Mabase isn't scoring any runs, and a given player can only bat at most twice every three innings if the team doesn't score, because the maximum number of batters you can send to the plate without scoring is six, while there are nine in a lineup, and everyone (or their substitutes) must bat once before anyone can bat twice. Possibly justified due to Rule of Symbolism.

The guitars featured in the show are real guitars. Haruko's bass guitar is a left-handed Rickenbacker 4001 (albeit with an added pull-start motor on the back), Naota gets a Gibson Flying V, and Atomsk's bass is a 1961 Gibson EB-0. Haruko's scooter is a real Vespa as well, the mid-1960s 180 Super Sport model. When Naota finds his dad in the fifth episode, if you look closely at the shots of a ticking clock, you can see it's a Seiko, although it's so brief that's it's probably not intended to be an advertisement.
